    The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) now covers 45 states, offering valuable state-specific health risk behavior data. This enables tracking progress toward national health objectives for adults and high-risk groups.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology
    • Health Services Research

    Background:

    • The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) has expanded significantly since 1984.
    • Increasing state participation allows for more comprehensive national health surveillance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide state-specific prevalence estimates for selected health-risk behaviors from 1986-1990.
    • To analyze trends and assess progress towards Year 2000 national health objectives.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS).
    • Analyzed state-specific health-risk behavior prevalence for adults (≥18 years) and demographic subgroups.
    • Examined data from 1986 through 1990.

    Main Results:

    • BRFSS expanded to include 45 states and the District of Columbia.
    • The system now covers over 90% of the U.S. adult population.
    • State-specific estimates of health-risk behaviors were generated.

    Conclusions:

    • BRFSS serves as a crucial tool for measuring state-specific risk factor prevalence.
    • The system is effective in indicating national trends in health behaviors.
    • Data supports monitoring progress toward public health goals.
